Ecocriticism in the Digital Age: Environmental Narratives in Virtual Landscapes

Author(s): Ayush Gaur

Abstract:

In the 21st century, the intersection of environmental consciousness and digital technology has transformed how ecological narratives are produced, disseminated, and received. This paper explores how Eco Criticism adapts to the digital age, engaging with virtual landscapes, interactive media, and digital storytelling as powerful platforms for environmental discourse. It examines the integration of ecological themes in social media activism, climate change simulations, virtual reality experiences, and digital literature, arguing that these mediums not only expand the scope of environmental awareness but also reshape the aesthetics and ethics of Ecocriticism. Drawing on case studies from digital campaigns, eco-games, and online literary projects, the research positions the digital sphere as a critical site of environmental pedagogy and activism. Ultimately, it asserts that Ecocriticism in the digital age represents a hybrid space where technology amplifies both the urgency and accessibility of environmental narratives.
